Massive Change Is Happening In The Legal Profession - Whether I Like It Or Not
This… I just keep coming back to this…
Massive change is happening in the legal profession whether I like it or not.
I might as well be the architect of my future of lawyering… at least to the extent that I can control it.
Most of the AI conversation in law is missing the only question that actually matters to my legal and advisory practices.
The AI Conversation In Law Is Missing The Only Question That Matters
The overwhelming commentary you’ll see and hear in the profession about AI is framed around its limitations, risks, hallucinations, misgivings, faults, lack of regulation, and the ethical and professional responsibility issues around using it.
All, to varying degrees, are perfectly valid issues.
Fewer, however, are asking the question we should all be quietly asking:
How do I actually run a better, modern practice using AI that is getting better by the day?
That is the real gap I see in the AI conversation right now.
So What Am I Doing?
I am doubling down in both my legal practice and my advisory work to work out:
1) What consumers and my clients are already doing with AI that affects my businesses
2) What I can genuinely do better using AI
3) What I should let go to AI because it is already better than me at it
4) What I can still charge for and what I no longer should
I’ll Be Honest - This Is Hard Work
I’ll be honest. This is hard work.
It is challenging, and it is already changing both my business models and the way I operate in practice.
It means challenging and dismantling long-held beliefs and reassembling them in ways that are new, untested and unique.
This is also uncomfortable.
AI is getting better, faster than I am.
What I do right now matters if I want to establish and protect my competitive advantage.
Pretending this isn’t happening is not an option for me.
If you are serious about your practice, this is not something to watch from the sidelines.
We work directly with solo lawyers through our Solo Law Practice Tune-Up - a practical review of your structure, positioning, systems and direction in light of what is actually happening in the market.
We also have a range of tools, guides and webinars for lawyers who want to get on top of this properly.
